When ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, his son Tim (Justice Smith) embarks on a journey to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds), a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to work together, as Tim is the only human who can talk with Pikachu, they join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery, encountering a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

Did you know?

  • Tim mentions a gangster film on TV is an “old detective movie.” The clip being shown is actually Angels With Filthy Souls, a movie-within-a-movie which was featured in the original Home Alone (1990).
  • The day before the film’s theatrical release, the entire movie was “leaked” onto YouTube. In reality, clicking this video will play a minute of the film, before cutting to a loop of Pikachu dancing for an hour and forty five minutes.
  • Pikachu’s fur is so fluffy because the electricity stored in his body keeps it standing on end.
